Wow. Count me in on the “I like this” Club. I definitely hear the TVR
similarity with even a bit of, dare I say, Everlast. I happen to be a big
fan of TVR so I’m easy. I’d agree with Justin about Neo Soul rather than
the Folk distinction. Chicks do Folk. My boy’s got Heavy Soul. Little bit
of Reggie Watts in there also from Maktub non fame. Bet the next release
will be hot. Yay for moody, sad, rainy day music. Great for headphones.

i like this. its already on repeat on my ipod. i have a feeling its one of those albums where i’ll listen to it over and over again for a month and then not listen to it for a year or so. then when i come back and listen again, i’ll be reminded exactly how i felt riding the subway this month and remember what my life was like that month.
the weird ‘cher/britney spears/madonna’ effect on his voice on “The Wolves (1 and 2)” when he sings the word ‘lost’… is interesting. interesting because i’m used to only hearing it in cheesy pop music. here, he uses it just enough to perk my ears up and say ‘WTF was that?’ but then its gone again, and so i’m on the fence as to say whether its done tastefully or whether it should have been left out. regardless, i like all these tracks. they are, shall i say ’soothing’…. like a milk bath.

Not bad. I dig his voice. My favorite track is Skinny Love…most likely wont listen to the other two…too mellow for me.
